No. 1 to Rehabilitation Contract 'No. 48, with Ted Combs De- TO REHAB. corating & Construction, Inc., for an increase in contract CONTRACT amount of $571.00, (Contract: $6,326.63), or an amended con 48, AP- tract total of: $6,897.63, for rehabilitation work at: 226 PROVED, East Pennsylvania Avenue, in the Southeast Project E -7, per E -7 explanation in memorandum dated January 14, from Chief Inspec- tor, Southeast Bureau of Housing, E -7. Mr. Brownell read the memorandum from Mr. Johnson, Chief Inspec- tor, Southeast Bureau of Housing, in its entirety, and the change order: The specifications called for the installation of 1/4" underlayment and tile, subfloor around the water closet, and a seat on the water closet, in the first floor bathroom.
